ABSTRACT Based on texts dealing with life in North Indian Muslim households of the second half of the nineteenth century, covering genres such as didactic tales, letters, guidebooks, and an autobiographical narrative, this essay looks at the representation of master-servant relationships as presented in these texts from the perspective of the master/mistress. As this was a period of transformation when traditional aristocratic households were gradually replaced by the new middle class, this essay, through a close textual analysis, underscores the gap between the normative and actual behaviour of the employing class, underlining the changes that came about with respect to the service classes while it attempted to maintain or acquire respectability on reduced incomes.
摘要本文以19世纪下半叶北印度穆斯林家庭生活的文本为基础,涵盖了说教故事、信件、指南和自传体叙事等类型,从主人/情妇的角度审视了这些文本中主人与仆人关系的表现。由于这是一个传统贵族家庭逐渐被新中产阶级取代的转型时期,本文通过仔细的文本分析,强调了雇佣阶级的规范行为与实际行为之间的差距,强调了当它试图在收入减少的情况下保持或获得体面时,服务阶级所发生的变化。

ABSTRACT The nature of service and submission in Mughal India was starkly different from modern times. The rhetoric of complete submission to the person of the Emperor guided the social relations of all orders. A reflection of this must have been experienced at the level of the household service gentry. Important elements in this service class were chelas (freed male slaves), sahelis (freed slave-girls) and khwajasaras (eunuchs). All three sections had an ambiguous placement in the social order. The chelas and sahelis were in principle free but their social realities and the nature of their services were similar to that of slaves. Eunuchs, on the other hand, provided widely varied services, ranging from administrative duties to mere harem attendance. The conditions of all these groups depended largely on the interactions between them and their immediate masters. The paper explores the dynamics of the varying nature of social realities and mobility experienced by these different sections, locating them within class and gender contexts.
摘要莫卧儿印度的服务和臣服性质与现代截然不同。完全臣服于皇帝的言论指导了所有命令的社会关系。这一定反映在家庭服务士绅阶层。这一服务阶层的重要成员是切拉斯(自由的男奴)、萨赫利斯(自由的奴隶女孩)和赫瓦贾萨拉斯(太监)。这三个部分在社会秩序中的位置都不明确。车拉人和撒哈拉人原则上是自由的,但他们的社会现实和服务性质与奴隶相似。另一方面,太监提供各种各样的服务,从行政职责到后宫事务。所有这些群体的状况在很大程度上取决于他们与直接主人之间的互动。本文探讨了这些不同阶层所经历的社会现实和流动性的不同性质的动态,并将其定位在阶级和性别背景下。

ABSTRACT In 2015, a coalition of artists in India launched a protest against the ruling establishment, returning their awards to the government in response to a series of attacks on minorities and dissident thinkers that had remained unacknowledged or insufficiently condemned by the state. Known as “Award Wapsi” (award return’ in Hindi), this was notably the first artist action of its kind in independent India, with artmakers from diverse domains participating in it. However, dancers were notably missing from the scene of this historic non-violent action. Those artists most invested in the idea of movement abandoned the protest movement. Moreover, this controversy elicited a fierce backlash, with a group of pro-government artists coordinating a counter-protest against their rebelling peers, with dancers represented among the ranks of those supporting the state. This paper considers the absence of dancers from oppositional organizing, and the presence of dancers in movements allied with the ruling regime, to think about the changing perceptions of political activism and the place of the artist in contemporary Indian society.
摘要2015年,印度的一个艺术家联盟发起了一场反对统治机构的抗议活动,将他们的奖项退还给政府,以回应一系列针对少数民族和持不同政见思想家的攻击,这些攻击一直没有得到国家的承认或谴责。这被称为“Award Wapsi”(印地语“Award return”),是独立的印度第一次有来自不同领域的艺术家参与的此类活动。然而,在这场历史性的非暴力活动中,舞者明显缺席。那些对运动理念投入最多的艺术家放弃了抗议运动。此外,这场争议引发了激烈的反弹,一群亲政府的艺术家协调了一场针对反叛同行的反抗议活动,舞者也加入了支持国家的行列。本文考虑了反对派组织中舞者的缺席,以及与统治政权结盟的运动中舞者的存在,以思考政治激进主义观念的变化以及艺术家在当代印度社会中的地位。

In the Late Qing Dynasty, while a large number of foreign literary translations entered China with national revolution gathered paces, there were also some works created by Chinese people under the guise of translation. Such works are known as “pseudo-translation” works. This paper attempts to argue for the existence of pseudo-translations in the translations of the first series of detective novels, Chinese, in terms of the conversion of signature, the application of flashback, and the remains of female aesthetics.

Disco flamboyance, performative masculinities and dancer heroes of Bengali cinema 迪斯科的华丽、表演的男子气概和孟加拉电影中的舞蹈英雄

ABSTRACT In this paper, I attempt to study the different determinants of cinematic masculinities, the gendered bodies of male performer figures and their changing patterns with reference to film dance from the 1980s-1990s period of Bengali popular cinema. This paper explores how the inclusion of performative male bodies in the dance numbers brought a distinct imagination of masculinity and flamboyance, thereby disrupting the established idea of the bhadra (the polished and gentle class of Bengal) hero of Bengali cinema. In the first section of my article, I focus on how the disco sensation and its cinematic registers took a new form with Mithun Chakraborty’s figuration in Bengali film dances. The second section studies how this pattern of dancing male bodies and its flamboyance changed in the later period when the imagination of a working class male protagonist intervened in film dance in the 1990s. In brief, I try to read the shifting imaginations of masculinities in Bengali film dance from the disco flamboyance and ‘global-national-popular model’ of Mithun Chakraborty’s star persona in the 1980s to the more localized and hybrid form of dance idioms in Prosenjit’s iconic film roles in a later period.
摘要本文试图结合20世纪80年代至90年代孟加拉流行电影的电影舞蹈,研究电影男性气质的不同决定因素、男性演员形象的性别化身体及其变化模式。本文探讨了在舞蹈数字中加入表演性男性身体是如何带来对男子气概和华丽的独特想象的,从而打破了孟加拉电影中对孟加拉(优雅温和的孟加拉阶层)英雄的既定观念。在我文章的第一节中,我重点讨论了迪斯科的轰动效应及其电影记录是如何随着Mithun Chakraborty在孟加拉语电影舞蹈中的形象而呈现出一种新的形式的。第二部分研究了在20世纪90年代,当一个工人阶级男性主人公的想象力介入电影舞蹈时,这种男性身体的舞蹈模式及其华丽是如何在后期发生变化的。简言之,我试图解读孟加拉语电影舞蹈中男性气质的转变,从20世纪80年代米通·查克拉博蒂的明星形象的迪斯科华丽和“全球流行模式”,到后期普罗森吉特标志性电影角色中舞蹈习语的更本地化和混合形式。

The phantom of history: figurations of the dancing body and the ‘Sitara Devi problem’ of Indian cinema 历史的幻影:舞蹈身体的形象与印度电影的“Sitara Devi问题”

ABSTRACT This paper is an attempt to reimagine the function of the dancing body of Sitara Devi in the topography of Hindi popular films from the 1930s to 1950s. A legendary Kathak dancer, Sitara Devi started performing in films during her teens, and essayed multiple roles as an actor, singer and dancer. Her film career was on high tide during late ‘30s and ‘40s as she acted in a number of films including those which transpired through her collaborations and associations with celebrated filmmakers such as Mehboob Khan, K. Asif and Nazir Ahmed Khan. While most of her films have not survived in their material form, historical readings of Indian cinemas have also – broadly speaking – circumvented the question of dancing bodies, and the import of Sitara Devi’s star-persona in films. My enquiry, therefore, concerns film historiography and I use the gender lens to refocus the debates on cinema onto matters of women, performance, and on/off-screen figurations, and the films in which Sitara Devi played decisive roles fuel such explorations. I consider Ashish Rajadhyaksha’s article on Indian Filmography, which defines the work of the ‘filmographer’ as a ‘Sitara Devi Problem’, as a point of departure, and discuss her surviving films, alongside Saadat Hasan Manto’s landmark writing, Stars from Another Sky, to arrive at the larger ‘problem’ of historical analyses. I remap Sitara Devi’s presence in the texts, and her absences in film discourses, to rethink film histories.
摘要本文试图在20世纪30年代至50年代的印度流行电影地形中重新想象西塔拉·德维的舞蹈身体的功能。作为一名传奇的卡塔克舞者,西塔拉·德维在十几岁的时候就开始在电影中表演,并尝试过演员、歌手和舞者的多种角色。她的电影生涯在30年代末和40年代处于高潮,因为她出演了许多电影,包括那些通过她与著名电影制作人如Mehboob Khan, K. Asif和Nazir Ahmed Khan的合作和联系而发生的电影。虽然她的大部分电影都没有以物质形式保存下来,但对印度电影的历史解读也——广泛地说——回避了舞蹈身体的问题,以及西塔拉·德维在电影中明星形象的重要性。因此,我的研究涉及电影史学,我使用性别镜头将电影的辩论重新聚焦到女性、表演和银幕内外人物的问题上,而西塔拉·德维在其中扮演决定性角色的电影则推动了这种探索。我考虑Ashish Rajadhyaksha关于印度电影编撰的文章,该文章将“电影编撰者”的工作定义为“Sitara Devi问题”,作为一个出发点,并讨论她幸存的电影,以及Saadat Hasan Manto的里程碑式作品“来自另一个天空的星星”,以达到更大的历史分析“问题”。我重新映射了西塔拉·德维在文本中的存在,以及她在电影话语中的缺席,以重新思考电影史。

ABSTRACT Published in 1902, Fakir Mohan Senapati’s famous novel Six Acres and a Third sets up a parallel between the import of English commodities and English literary taste into Odisha in late nineteenth century. The paper takes this parallel as its point of departure to explore colonial Odia discourses on political economy and literary criticism, and goes on to study how they construct Odisha as a peripheral space. The paper finds that the public discussions on economy and literature shared a common ideological code. This code preferred to engage with history, whether economic or literary, by turning it into a moral question. This ideological code deeply informed the peripheral middle-class imagination, which often spoke for a working alliance between educated middle orders native aristocracy and colonial state for the sake of economic and literary progress in the region. The paper concludes by showing how this code was at work in Fakir Mohan, in his responses to colonialism, and in his engagement with a fundamental problem of the peripheral space, that of redundant capital. ‘Provincial Victorians’ refer to Fakir Mohan and several other public intellectuals of his generation who came to see themselves as inhabiting the economic and literary peripheries of the Victorian world system.
Fakir Mohan Senapati于1902年出版的著名小说《六亩三分地》将19世纪末英国商品的进口与英国文学品味相提并论。本文以这种平行性为出发点,探讨了殖民时期奥迪亚关于政治经济和文学批评的话语,并进一步研究了他们如何将奥迪沙构建为一个边缘空间。本文发现,关于经济和文学的公共讨论有着共同的意识形态密码。这一准则倾向于通过将历史变成一个道德问题来参与历史,无论是经济还是文学。这种意识形态密码深深地影响了边缘中产阶级的想象,他们经常主张受过教育的中产阶级、本土贵族和殖民国家之间建立一个工作联盟,以促进该地区的经济和文学进步。论文最后展示了这一准则是如何在法基尔·莫汉(Fakir Mohan)发挥作用的,在他对殖民主义的回应中,以及在他处理外围空间的一个根本问题,即多余资本的问题时。”“省级维多利亚人”指的是Fakir Mohan和他那一代的其他几位公共知识分子,他们认为自己生活在维多利亚世界体系的经济和文学边缘。
